About Maersk UAE

Maersk, formally A.P. Moller–Maersk, is a Danish company and one of the world's largest container shipping and logistics groups. It has a long-standing presence in the UAE, where Jebel Ali Port is one of its important hubs in the region.

Container shipping moves the majority of the world's manufactured goods, from electronics and clothing to food and machinery. Maersk operates a large fleet of container ships that call at ports across the world.

In recent years, Maersk has expanded beyond ocean shipping into integrated logistics, offering warehousing, inland transport, customs services and air freight, so customers can manage their supply chains end to end.

The UAE is central to trade in the region. Goods arrive at Jebel Ali and Khalifa Port and are redistributed across the Gulf, the Indian subcontinent and East Africa.

Maersk has also invested in lower-emission shipping, including vessels that can run on green methanol, as the industry works to cut carbon emissions.

Shipping rates and schedules are affected by global events, such as disruptions in key shipping routes, which can influence costs for importers and exporters.

Maersk is a Danish company rather than a UAE startup, and Startups UAE lists its UAE operations among the country's shipping and logistics providers.
